At Gungnir of Norway, we are on a mission to create weightlifting equipment that not only works out your muscles, but also your eco-friendly muscles. That's why we're proud to produce all our bars in Sweden, soon with solar-powered machining, and source all our steel in Europe.

We aim to produce durable, well-designed equipment that requires minimal maintenance, contributing to less waste, fewer transports, and a more sustainable mentality towards waste. As our CEO, Kristian Sommerfelt Kjelstad, states;

When you often hear “Buy two, get three”, we say “buy one, and get three times the lifespan”. - Kristian Sommerfelt Kjelstad, CEO, Gungnir of Norway

By manufacturing our equipment in Sweden, we are able to decrease transportation emissions and minimize our carbon footprint. Our producer also plans to implement solar power to run our machines later this year, ensuring a 100% clean energy mix in the production of our barbells.

Additionally, we are committed to sourcing our steel from European suppliers. Kristian Kjelstad, CEO of Gungnir of Norway, adds;

"As part of an industry where mass production, white labeling, and transportation around the globe is common, we are committed to being one of the few companies that contribute in a positive way, following the principles of Gungnir."

Our technology also has a secondary benefit of reducing the production of traditional clips, collars and clamps, often made of plastic.

We believe that by choosing Gungnir of Norway, our customers can be confident knowing they are supporting a company committed to positively impacting the environment and making a difference, one gym at a time.
